Connection utilization

NOTE

Connection utilization is only supported on the following managed objects: E_ports, F_ports,

N_ports, 10 GE_ports and FCIP tunnels.

Performance connection utilization for device ports provides the following features:

• Turns the utilization display on and off from the menu and tool bar.

• Displays moving dotted colored lines that originate from a port.

• Displays two lines in the topology (when turned on); one represents percentage utilization for

transmit and the other percentage utilization for receive. The movement of the line determines

if it is a transmit or a receive.

- Receive (Rx)—line moves into a port.

- Transmit (Tx)—line moves out of a port.

• Displays different colors to represent the percentage utilization range (Figure 124).
